WTF is wrong with inter-racial dating?

[IronBrig4]

I posted a thread like this a year ago, and it has since been moved into the graveyard. But backwards people still make my blood boil.

How is it that in the 21st-century, post-industrial world, we still have people who think inter-racial dating is wrong? What kind of sick, depraved mindset made their parents think that it would dilute their blood? One of my friends from Mississippi said that her brother would disown her if she ever dated a black guy. Something about "preserving European heritage" or other such gobbledegook. I myself am half-white and half-Asian. My grandmother on my Mom's side (she's Thai) wrote her out of the will because she married an "outsider."

I'm Californian, so I haven't received any flak about being the product of inter-racial marriage. In fact, a lot of people here think it's a bit exotic. The only Americans who complain about it seem to come from the Deep South. I was talking to a redneck chick from Georgia who was compliaining about "mixed couples" at a nearby military base. I asked her what was wrong about that, and she spouted off some crap about how the Bible says it's a sin. Hell, the commonwealth of Virginia didn't allow inter-racial marriage until 1969, and even then because the Supreme Court forced them to.

Before we get started, I'm not going to single out the American South. The same goes for New York Italians who forbid their kids to date non-Italians, Japanese who freak out if their kid dates a Korean, and bigoted Jewish grandmothers who insist that their grandchildren go out only with other Jews.

Dude...people who think inter racial dating is okay is still in the minority. PLENTY of people still think its "wrong" or "odd". Plenty of jews will flip out if their son/daughter marries a non-jew. Plenty of greeks will do the same...plenty of Italians, etc etc.

If you think its okay, thats all that matters...so whats the problem? Is your mom giving you B.S.?

Every once in a while, she tries to make me promise that I won't marry a Chinese or Indian girl. It's Old Country racism. Of course I argue back, and she gives up for the time being. The problem is there are still lots of people who still think like those rednecks did in 1950's Alabama.

Would I date a black chick? No. It's not because of racism; it's because I don't like big butts. I may be shallow, but I sure as hell ain't racist.

what you said right there could easily be taken as racism

[IronBrig4]

I was being facetious about the big butts. Actually, I'd date a black chick if she was pretty enough. In my book, the girls I go out with must be hot. On a scale of 1 to 10, they have to be at least a 7.

Once my brother was friends with two Indian girls, and my Mom raised a great big stink about it. I was at college while that was going on, but when I visited for Christmas I made it a point to hang out with them just to **** her off. Racism really sucks.

actually I agree with what you said about not going out with black girls. Personally I just dont think many of them are that attractive (there are certainly some out there, dont get me wrong) but my aesthetic tastes are just different I guess.

[RZZZA]

Well....first of all...

Indian chicks can be VERY hot.

and second, big butts are awesome, whats wrong with you!?

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

What's wrong with Chinese women ??

That's a bit of a generalisation...

I don't think that that is paticually the case.

[RZZZA]

I dunno, your mom is crazy though, no offense.

Chinese women are hot, indian women are hot, and black women are hot.

Chinese women...I personally would go for one that knew martial artws, just because women who can kick my ass really turn me on.

Indian, I'd go for a "westernized" Indian girl like the indian girls you see in those indian movies and stuff...they look very "westernized", I.E. the long straight hair, half dressed, thin waist, thick lips, etc.

Black chicks....heh...I wouldn't go for a hoodrat just because I cant stand hoodrats, theyre violent, annoying and wild. I dont wanna wake up one day with my penis cut off and stuffed in my mouth because I glanced at another girl one day when we were out or something. And hoodrats are violent and irrational like that. I'd want a nice black girl, but of course with the nice booty.

A big booty is a requirement for all my girls, the butt is the most important body part. Some people say the breasts...I disagree, the butt is closer to the kill zone.

None taken. I've noticed that a lot of immigrants carry Old World hatreds with them, no matter where they go. There's a lot of Somali immigrants here who get into fistfights because they're from different tribes.

and she spouted off some crap about how the Bible says it's a sin.

If she was a ****ing Israelite three thousand years ago who wanted to marry a Canaanite.

I would consider that a generalisation rather then a racist remark.

I’ve also read your original post and you might want to edit the part about ‘pigheaded jews’, I know what you mean (and I’m Christian and not Jewish!) and I don’t wish to insult people intelligence but someone could take that the wrong way.

Wait are you being sterotype using racist

It seems,like your being one to my humble opion

Well ... my parents wouldn't.

I think it is a mixture of racism (either knowingly or not knowingly) and part wanting to keep tradition.

I was talking to a redneck chick from Georgia who was compliaining about "mixed couples" at a nearby military base. I asked her what was wrong about that, and she spouted off some crap about how the Bible says it's a sin.

This got my attention. I absolutely despise the Bible for that very reason. People seem to feel that they can justify whatever prejudice or flaw they might have in their personalities by saying "its in the Bible." The sad fact is, she's probably right, but my guess is it would be in the Old Testament, which Christians love to use as their on-and-off 'Crusade against gays, interracial couples, and anything I find morally objectionable' material. The stuff in the OT that tells them what they're doing is wrong is okay to ignore, but when it forbids something that they find unseemly, it's Bible-thumping time!

As to the issue of interracial couples, I have nothing against it. I don't see why people do, unless they suffer from some serious mental challenges. It hasn't been pinpointed as a cause of any negative trend in society, so why bother? I personally would stick to dating members of my own race, but that's not because I am racist, it's because like most people, members of your race are the most attractive to you (for some, but not all, obviously).

There is nothing in the New or Old Testament in the bible that prohibits interracial dating or marraige. The only prohibition is in the New Testament -- 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers ...", which prohibits believers from marrying and dating non-believers. This is logical as your attention must be on your faith and your partner/wife must help strengthen your faith, not test it. I would certainly be displeased if any of my children strayed outside their faith in dating or marraige.

interacial babies = ew and ugly poo. First mix might have pretty faces, but after that, they turn into ugly stuff.

Culture. If your western and u marry a westernized chick, then yah, but chances are that in their culture, they're exposed to more females of the same race.

I dunno. I like my nubian princess anyhow.
